Pulp Fiction's Quentin Tarantino
If you’ve got friends that are interested in film and film history, you will be able to provide them with some great Quentin Tarantino trivia after reading this! For example, did you know that Tarantino’s middle name is Jerome? Or that he was born in 1963? How about that despite the fact that he is recognized as one of modern film’s greatest directors he has only released eight films in his professional feature film career which has spanned 28 years?
Can you name Tarantino’s films? Any Quentin Tarantino quiz is sure to contain this question based on the extremely low number of films that he has produced. Tarantino’s films in order of release date are My Best Friend’s Birthday, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, Grindhouse, Death Proof, and the upcoming Inglourious Basterds.
In addition to listing his own filmography, any Quentin Tarantino trivia buff should also be aware of the fact that this director has worked in both television and is well known for working on collaborative projects. Collaborations could include Grindhouse, although he and Robert Rodriguez actually each direted a separate feature film which were billed together, but he has also worked on Four Rooms, which had several segments directed by different directors, as well as working as a guest director in Sin City.
Tarantino also has directed episodes of two of televisions most well known series; ER and CSI.
Tarantino has also worked as an actor, appearing both in many of his own films as well as in several others. Of his own films he has appeared in Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Four Rooms, Jackie Brown, the first Kill Bill, and Grindhouse. He has also had other notable appearances in movies like Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn (which he wrote).
Tarantino has also been nominated for several awards, most notable for Pulp Fiction, widely critically acclaimed as one of the best pictures made in the last twenty five years. Pulp Fiction won the Palme d’OR at the Cannes festival in 1994, and also was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy awards. It would lose in that Category, but co-writers Tarntino and Roger Avary would win the Oscar for best original screenplay.
In addition to his accomplishments as a director and actor, Tarntino has also written the scripts for almost all of his films, and is also one of the most respected producers currently active in Hollywood.
